Wednesday Comics #4

So I really like the format, the idea, and some of the execution of Wednesday Comics, but I'm afraid there just aren't enough really good stories to keep me buying this. At 3.99 a pop, I need a bit higher ratio of good to average material.

Here's the rundown of my feelings on the features:

Batman - fine, but nothing thrilling so far

Kamandi - fantastic, the best story in this thing

Superman - slow, but beautiful

Deadman - fine, but again, nothing thrilling

Green Lantern - Not a lot of actual GL in this, is there?

Metamorpho - I like the camp, and the art, making this a strong entry

Teen Titans - average

Strange Adventures - fantastic stuff, I'd buy this monthly

Supergirl - amusing, but no real story going on

Metal Men - Love the art, story doesn't really have anything to it

Wonder Woman - illegible

Sgt. Rock - great looking, but not a lot of story

Flash - I don't understand what is happening

Demon & Catwoman - Actual plot movement and decent art

Hawkman - love it, one of the stronger features.

So basically, the only ones I really like are Adam Strange, Hawkman, and Metamorpho. With only one page an issue, the stories just don't have pacing to make 3.99 worthwhile. This was a neat experiment, but for me, I'm afraid it's over.
